Story[]
Before Cyrus's arrival in Quarrycrest, Gideon captured multiple people to use their blood for a dark ritual from a translated version of From the Far Reaches of Hell. As he is returning to his ritual chamber in the Quarrycrest Sewers, he confronts Cyrus and engages him in battle, only to be defeated and killed. The abridged tome he had was taken by Cyrus to be researched further into the original's theft.
